1.544 MBPS = T1 Speed!
Written by: Terry Vance - Jan 7, 2009
T1 speed connections are no longer just for large companies and corporations. As T1 prices decline many entities are choosing the more flexible and reliable T1 service over a standard DSL connection. Additionally, heavy bandwidth applications, such as, streaming video, huge graphic files, VOIP, ASP services, as well as countless other web services and applications, is growing rapidly and driving the demand for reliable T1 connection based communications. So, how do you get one of these T1 connections?
Just two years ago, getting a T1 line was far more difficult and complicated as it is now. Just getting a quote was near to impossible. Small businesses can now take advantage of product streamlining and bundling, providing better services at a greater value. Integrated service of both data and voice on a single connection can now be enjoyed by small business for as little as $500.00 per month. Just a few years back a regular connection ranged from $1000.00 to $2000.00 per month. We paid over $1300.00 for ours. Many companies are already paying $500.00, or more, per month for their phone service and their DSL service. More reliable service, more value, better support, greater ROI (Return on Investment), says it all. Why not get a T1 line?
Not only is changing to a better connection less expensive than it was just a couple of years ago, implementation and provisioning has been improved and streamlined to meet the demands of modern businesses. Generally, 30 days is the minimum time quoted by T1 carriers to complete the line installation. However, some can complete the implementation in as little as 20 days. Most of the implementation is controlled by the LEC (Local Exchange Carrier), so not all broadband carriers can get your line provisioned this quickly. In some cases, it is out of their hands.
With the current offerings, coupled with attractive pricing structures and streamlined implementation, you should probably reconsider your existing services and get services that used to be just for large business at price for small businesses.
